Whatever happened to Chris Kanyon?

[Mr. Nerfect]

That guy was awesome. I only saw a bit of his WWE work, and that alone was enough to make me a fan of his.

Anyway, I know he got injured and then he left the WWE, but what has he been doing since then? I might recall something about him happily stepping out of the ring, but damn would I like to see him come back.

Chris Kanyon vs. Shelton Benjamin might just be the most innovative match in wrestling history if it happened.

Last time i seen him in wwe he was singing " do you weally (really) want to hurt me" to the undertaker. :wtf:

[The Gooch]

I wish I knew what happened to him, his Invasion MVP gimmick was excellent.

[RemyRed]

He did some independant wrestling and then retired :'(

[Gouda]

Kanyon was the man. I'm still a big Kanyon fan. They could have done so much more with him in the WWE.

Innovator of Offense.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wish the WWE would go out of their way to re-sign him. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kanyon could be one of the most innovative matches of all time.

[Dorkchop]

You should try to find some of his WCW matches if you're pretty new to him. At least in WCW he got some god damn matches.

[redoneja]

I saw his match versus Perry Saturn at the Great American Bash(1998) live and it was pretty damn good.

Kanyon has always been one of my favourites.

He's great in-ring and has had some great gimmicks. I was happy when WWE picked him up after buying WCW.

I always thought a Kanyon/Jericho team would be awesome.

[KayfabeMan]

Yeah, Kanyon kinda flat out disappeared.

I spoke to a few guys who worked with Kanyon a lot back around the time he said he was leaving the business, and at that point they hadn't heard from him in a while - & still haven't. Strange that he'd cut himself off from a lot of the people he was friends with, and also strange that he wouldn't at least work the Wrestle Reunion convention deals, which are promoted by DDP.

Last I remember him, he was doing a masked gimmick, where he revealed himself - which lead into another angle. Then did a shot or two with CSWF, where they whole masked gimmick may have been as well, and wrestled his 'retirement' match with DDP on one of their shows. I have no freaking clue what happened to him, but it'd have been nice of him to let everyone know what's up.

[KayfabeMan]

Also, to clarify my first sentence of the first paragraph there - which I now realize is confusing - I spoke to the guys around the time that he said he was retiring. They'd worked with him for a long while, not just around the time that he said he was retiring, which was the way I made it sound :(

[Disturbed316]

Last time I heard he was still trying to recover from that horrible cut on this arm.

[Chavo Classic]

Last time I heard he was still trying to recover from that horrible cut on this arm.

I saw a picture of the guy holding a dollar note up against his arm to get perspective on how big that hole was.

Not joking, but it's one of the sickest cuts/gashes/unusual body holes i've ever seen

[carrythezero]

Who betta than Kanyon? That guy was the man.

[Savio]

He was OKAY
